I made this for a friends of mine whom I visited a few days back. I noticed she had a bike like this as a home decoration so I took the opportunity to make a card.

The bottom I first punched a Martha Stewart heart border punch on the white card stock.
Next I cut out the blue Spellbinders scallop octagon and ran that through the fancy swirl Cuttle Bug embossing folder.

Next I had a few of these bikes already cut in black cardstock (see the first card I made with it) so I glued it to the card and added some flat back SU pearls to the bike.
Closed out the design of the card with a little sentiment from SU Teeny Tiny wishes.

This sweet card was sent to my friend in FL. The embossing is a CB folder, the stamped image is from SU as well as the sentiment and label (raised on foam).
The butterflies were punches from shiny glistened paper. Rhinestones for bling, got to have bling!

The sheer ribbon is tied onto the first two layers for a gentle touch. Enjoyed making this quick card from a swap.

I created these cards late last night by just die cutting the Sizzix tree and cutting a piece of card board into the wave of "snow".
By first sponging the snow (blue ink) and masking the tree I was able to create the two layers of snow. Then removing the tree cut out and the snow mounds I put the negative tree cut out over the space and proceeded to sponge in the green and brown to make the tree.

The sentiment is one of those dollar bin wooden mount stamps at Michael's I had in my stash and it stamped beautifully clear!
I added glitter glue to the side of the tree and the snow layers and then accented the two cards one with SU flat back pearls and the other with rhinestones.

Inside of the card I sponged another layer of "snow" with the cardboard mask and blue inked sponge.

I created these layers snowflakes using various snowflake dies, and wanted a different effect by mounting them on black card stock.

I'm calling it a "formal Christmas" (Ha ha)

I added one of those flat dot from Stampin' Up due to the layers in the snowflake as well as the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Sentiments. To keep with the formal theme, I used the retied SU ticket corner punch. I'm so glad I have one of these punches just for a little accent.

I created two of these cards tonight by using the Always Thankful stamp set from Stampin' Up.
I double stamped the image using a brown and then a black ink pad.
I added a glitter gel pen to add glistening highlights. I was fortunate that the light picked it up in the photograph.

The sentiment is raised on foam squares and I used the little flat candy dots from SU as well.

I created this sleek Thank you Card for my daughter to give to a friend.
To create the element, I die cut the trellis from a Sizzix (SU) die in white. Then to create the frame, I used two of the middle to largest dies from Spellbinders scallop octagon.
I adhered the two together and only had to cut a little off the trellis die piece.

Then proceeded to cut the Provo Craft scrapbook paper to match the outer size scallop octagon.
Mounted it on black card base using foam squares.
The sentiment and punches are from Stampin Up.

I cut a 3 ½ x 4 ¾ piece of card stock and using Pacific Point SU ink and a sponge went around the snowflake cut out to give the effect of falling snow.

I then used that snowflake as a center accent raised on foam tape.
The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up which I also inked around the edges and raised on a foam square.
I plan on making several of these to send out this year.

I made this for a friend of mine who turns 50 today.
I fell in love with this Memory Box die and couldn't wait to make a card with it.

I CASE this card off of Google Image and used SU patterned paper.
The center banner is 1 1/4" wide and the centerpiece is raised on foam tape.
The Happy Birthday sentiment is inside (I didn't take that picture)
